Covered a lot of the essential classics.

But what about some of the modern day guys, the young kids as it were =P.


I don't really follow contemporary jazz, so I'm not too familiar with the "young kids." I did post a video of David Doruzka, who is a great guitarist. Here's another clip:

Im more into the groove kind of Jazz and I have just about learned thats the name of it
I have always loved Jazz but couldnt even point out it was actually callled jazz...
* have "zero" knowledge about music* 8O

Because there is so incredible many variations within the jazz genre itself!!

I love Jazz funk, its way groovy! But still I like far from all of it. I cant say Im a great fan of Jamiroquai and Earth wind and fire for example....


You should check out acid jazz. It's a combination of jazz, funk, and hip-hop elements. I posted a video of Greyboy Allstars, which is acid jazz. Jamiroquai is often grouped in with acid jazz.

If you like Earth, Wind, and Fire you should check out Tower of Power. Here's a video of a recent performance:
